Section Number and Name: 7.2.3.1. Configuring Transparent Huge Pages

Describe the issue: 
The description: 
To enable transparent huge pages to be used by default, run:
# cat /sys/kernel/mm/transparent_hugepage/enabled
This will set /sys/kernel/mm/transparent_hugepage/enabled to always. 

is wrong. The 'cat' command will only show it.

Suggestions for improvement: 
I believe it was meant to be:
echo always > /sys/kernel/mm/transparent_hugepage/enabled
